We recently kicked off our new Baby Ubuntu Facilitators’ Training – aimed at enhancing the quality of support offered to children with #neurodisabilities & their caregivers.

It was great to see trainees’ skills grow.

Stronger facilitators mean stronger support for families.

Great to see our Founder and Chair, @audetteexel.bsky.social, featured in Philanthropy Australia's Giving News.

Audette shares her thoughts on the @gatesfoundation.bsky.social's plan to spend down $200 billion and close by 2045.

My new deadline: 20 years to give away virtually all my wealth During the first 25 years of the Gates Foundation, we gave away more than $100 billion. Over the next two decades, we will double our giving.

A call to action for the ages. Bravo. Critical leadership at a time of massive need in our world. 👏 👏

“I hope other wealthy people consider how much they can accelerate progress for the world’s poorest if they increased the pace and scale of their giving…”

On this sunny #ElectionDay, as every Aussie casts their vote, I remember & honour the suffragettes who chained themselves to the steps of parliament to get me, and all other women, the vote. As we watch the unraveling of democracy in the USA, may we never take ours for granted. #ausvotes

The last word goes to the newborn *Sarah was born five days ago, too soon. She is the first baby for her Mum and Dad.

It is monstrous. Tens of millions of our neighbours in faraway places are likely to die this year as the impact of the #USAID & #PEPFAR shutdown bites. My thoughts from Uganda. @nickkristof.bsky.social

U.S. to End Vaccine Funds for Poor Countries A 281-page spreadsheet obtained by The Times lists the Trump administration’s plans for thousands of foreign aid programs.

I am in remote Uganda - speechless & heartbroken as I read this. Millions more will die. This is monstrous. Who will stand up for our neighbours in faraway places? Raise. Your. Voice.

Contribution of vaccination to improved survival and health: modelling 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization Since 1974 substantial gains in childhood survival have occurred in every global region.

Hard to believe there is even a debate about this. Vaccines work.

Emergency Food, TB Tests and H.I.V. Drugs: Vital Health Aid Remains Frozen Despite Court Ruling The Trump administration appears to be flouting a judge’s order pausing the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D.

We are living in a time of extraordinary geo-political shift.It is hard to keep up. But we must.
The freezing of c. US$68 bn & dismantling of USAID is hitting hard in low-income countries. We must double down, not back down. @adaragroup.bsky.social

Trump’s assault on aid costs lives and ‘opens the door to China’ The US president’s attack on foreign aid has already led to deaths and is an invitation to Beijing to win hearts and minds in the Pacific and across our region.

Events in the USA are impacting tens of millions of the most marginalised people on our planet, and shifting global dynamics at speed. The whole world is watching. We must stand up for our neighbours in faraway places. #EveryMotherEveryChild
